Japanese lyrical haiku (haiku) poems are distinguished by their extreme brevity and unique poetics, reflecting in their style the life of nature and man in their fused, indissoluble unity against the backdrop of the cycle of the seasons. Japanese lyrics are fully reflected by the term “after-feeling” - after all, the deep echo born of the word does not immediately subside. The ability to awaken the imagination is one of the main properties of Japanese poetry. Masters such as Basho, Buson and Issa are just a few of those whose poems are still able to excite our feelings. In the translation of the poet, philologist and literary critic Vera Nikolaevna Markova, unique Japanese poetic miniatures turn into aphoristic free verse, turning into blank verse.
